Gurpreet Singh Sekhon Joins AAP Ahead of Punjab Assembly Elections
Gurpreet Singh Sekhon, the main accused in the 2016 Nabha jailbreak case, has joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ahead of the Punjab Assembly elections. Welcomed by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann in Zira, Sekhon's induction has sparked speculation that he may contest from the Zira constituency, potentially altering local political dynamics. His entry has caused unease within the camp of sitting AAP MLA Naresh Katariya. Sekhon has recently engaged in local politics, including supporting relatives in local elections.
